Thursday brings us the start of Week 11 around the NFL, with the Atlanta Falcons hosting the New England Patriots. The Falcons will be looking to turn things around after a devastating loss to the Dallas Cowboys, while the Patriots will be looking to extend their win streak to five games.
Below, we’re looking at the top DFS plays on SuperDraft for this week’s Thursday game. Let’s dive in.
Top Plays
Damien Harris, New England Patriots (Champion: 2.25x | Superflex: 1.5x Multiplier)
Harris has been cleared from the concussion protocol and will enter the Thursday slate with no injury designation. It’s a good matchup to return in, as the Falcons are currently allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the running back position at 25.5. Before missing the Week 10 action, Harris scored in five straight games, with a total of six touchdowns. He has led this backfield in rushing and red-zone attempts in all nine games he has played, which puts him in a prime spot Thursday.
Mac Jones, New England Patriots (Champion: 2.2xx | Superflex: 1.45x)
It’s hard not to like the rookie Jones so far this season. Aside from his one horrible game — Week 3, where he threw three interceptions — Jones has shown he can get the job done. He faces a Falcons defense that ranks second to last in QB hits, last in sacks and second to last in interceptions. On top of all of that, they also give up the fourth-most fantasy points to the quarterback position with 22.5 per game. Jones is coming off his third-lowest passing yardage total with 198 yards, but it was also his best game for touchdown passes with three against the Cleveland Browns (and no interceptions).
Olamide Zacceheaus, Atlanta Falcons (Champion: 2.85x| Superflex: 1.9x)
There is very little to like about this Falcons offense, as the Patriots defense can stop any type of attack. Matt Ryan would be a go-to play in what could be another catchup game, but one of his most trustworthy weapons, Cordarrelle Patterson, is listed questionable. In comes Zaccheaus, who has slowly started making some noise recently. He had his season high for targets in Week 10 with seven, though he only brought in two of them. In Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints, Zaccheaus brought in all three targets and scored twice. While this isn’t the most secure play, it is a risk that I’m willing to take on a showdown slate with a high multiplier.
